First some background…
One of the many lessons I’ve learnt from my Linux HA / Storage clustering project is that the Debian HA ecosystem is essentially broken, We reached the point where packages were too old, too buggy or in Debian 8’s case - outright missing.
In the past I was very disappointed with RHEL/CentOS 5 / 6 and (until now) have been quite satisfied with Debian as a stable server distribution with historicity more modern packages and kernels.

A sysadmin shares lessons from migrating a Linux HA/Storage cluster from Debian to CentOS 7, explaining why Debian's HA ecosystem proved inadequate. Three critical missing packages in CentOS 7's HA stack are identified: pacemaker built without --with-stonith, missing cluster-glue, and crmsh replaced by pcs. Short-term workarounds are provided including a recompiled pacemaker RPM with STONITH support hosted on packagecloud, and OpenSUSE-sourced cluster-glue and crmsh packages. Long-term solutions involve requesting upstream maintainers to port STONITH agents and lobbying third-party RHEL repos like GhettoForge, RPMFusion, and ELRepo to host the missing packages.
